Hearing Cao Ya's final sigh, everyone felt the same way.

“Throughout history, has no Celestial Venerable ever completely mastered the laws of time on his own?” Black Feather murmured.

If such disparaging words against the Celestial Venerable were to spread, it would definitely alarm the divine realm and incur the Celestial Venerable's wrath!

“Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable and Carefree Celestial Venerable were respectively related to the opportunities of Celestial Venerable Mountain in the previous two eras, but they are definitely not. Rather, it is Floating Feather Celestial Venerable…” Jiang Lan pondered and shook his head.

The Celestial Venerable of Floating Feathers is too mysterious; even Jiang Lan, the God King of the Wood Palace who was born in the early days of the God Realm, does not know his origins.

As for Qin Yu and the others who ascended to immortality, as well as Jiang Li and Cao Ya who were born in the God Realm later, Jiang Lan believed that it was even more impossible for them to know anything about them.

“Perhaps the other two Celestial Venerables know these secrets, but they won’t tell us,” Jiang Lan sighed.

In fact, the eight royal families of the divine realm have also explored their own origins, but have found nothing.

They asked Lei Fa Tian Zun, one of the eight royal families and the ancestor of Lei Fa City in the Northwest, but received no reply.

The meaning of the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable is that once they become Celestial Venerables, they will naturally understand everything.

If one does not become a Celestial Venerable, one is not qualified to understand the greatest secret of the divine realm.

This also led to many of the God-Kings of the eight royal families being extremely eager for the achievements of the Heavenly Venerable! —Of course, as a God-King, the greatest dream is undoubtedly to attain the Heavenly Venerable realm!

Unfortunately, Celestial Venerables are rare, and comprehending the laws of time is extremely difficult.

Seeing that they could not succeed on their own, these god-kings all turned their attention to Mount Tianzun.

As long as one obtains the complete Celestial Treasure and secures a new spot, one can attain enlightenment instantly without needing to cultivate!

The Arctic Holy Emperor "Jiang Fan" was so cruel and ruthless, disregarding his daughter Jiang Li and brother Jiang Lan, and even breaking the rules he had set on the spot—regarding the marriage contest for Jiang Li, Qin Yu met the most and best conditions, but Jiang Lan acted as if he were blind to them. It wasn't a behind-the-scenes operation, but an open and reckless act, insisting on marrying Jiang Li to Prince Zhou Xian of the Northwest Thunder Punishment City. Why? Wasn't it just because the Northwest Holy Emperor had promised a chance for the Thunder Punishment Heavenly Venerable to intervene?!

The Holy Emperor of the North Pole has gone mad in his pursuit of the Heavenly Venerable throne!

Especially after the first fragment of the Celestial Venerable Seal fell into Cao Ya's hands.

"Compared to relying on celestial treasures to break through, self-cultivation and enlightenment are far more powerful!"

Hei Yu slowly said that he had already grasped the basics of the laws of time at the stages of God and Celestial God, and his comprehension in this area was quite high.

"Perhaps, the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu belongs to this category?" Divine King Yifeng pondered.

"With our capabilities, this path is basically blocked," Jiang Lan said with a wry smile.

He, along with Yi Feng God King and Death God King, are all ancient relics, having lived for two eons.

Each epoch is sixty quadrillion years long!

The fact that they remained at the second stage of "time acceleration" for such a long time also shows that they have little talent in the laws of time.

Even if there are several or dozens more epochs, we can probably only reach the third stage of "time stillness" at most. There is absolutely no hope of mastering the fourth stage of "time reversal"!

As for vying for the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure... the three of them didn't think they could win it!

All they wanted was to try their best to obtain a fragment of the seal by working together!

Even if the final spot as a Celestial Venerable belongs to someone else, being able to decipher a part of the Celestial Venerable's spiritual treasure and comprehend the incomplete laws of time is still an opportunity.

For example, this Azure Heaven Seal was observed by many heroes, and each of them gained a lot of insights.

"Man proposes, God disposes! Even if we can't master the Law of Time, we can still improve our combat power by delving deeper into other laws, allowing us to stand up to the eight Holy Emperors... or even surpass them!" said the God of Death.

As she spoke, she glanced at Cao Ya beside her, her eyes filled with surprise.

She has mastered the Law of Death, and with the addition of "Mastery of Space" and "Time Acceleration," she is a first-rate existence even among the second-stage God-Kings.

Compared to Cao Ya, the God King, he is nothing.

In the divine realm today, who doesn't know that God King Cao Ya cultivates all the paths and is incredibly powerful!

It can be said that the God Kings present—Jiang Lan, Jiang Li, the Death God King, the Yi Feng God King, as well as Hou Fei and Hei Yu—while having some special characteristics, were generally within the normal range of God Kings. However, Cao Ya and Qin Yu had already defied the understanding of the people of the God Realm!

Whether it's Cao Ya's cultivation of various laws or Qin Yu's creation of a new universe... neither has ever happened in the past two eras!

Furthermore, they all knew that the strength of these two was unfathomable.

Even the Asura God King and the Blood Sea Queen, who could "freeze time," would be defeated by these two.

The God of Death figured that she couldn't imitate Qin Yu's methods.

But given Cao Ya's situation, she might actually be able to try it once or twice. Even if she fails, if she could gain two or three more laws... then her combat power would definitely have a chance to rival the third stage!

"The laws of death, life, and wood are all actually quite good."

Cao Ya said, with a hint of regret.

Within the subordinate universe, spacetime is not apparent; instead, the study of other laws has become the mainstream.

When it comes to understanding the universe of "Stellar Transformation", no one here has a deeper understanding than him!

This world is the Linmeng Universe, also known as Lin Lei of the Panlong. After becoming the controller, he traveled through the Hongmeng Universe and then created the world, creating one main universe and four secondary universes, a perfect combination.

The realm of gods is, of course, located in the main universe.

Its power level and upper limit are much higher than those of the four subsidiary universes.

If the God-Kings and Celestial Venerables of the main universe go to the subsidiary universe, they can break through heaven and earth and transcend!

However, this is not allowed, because the cultivation environment in the main universe is far superior to that in the subsidiary universe.

Furthermore, without reaching the level of a master, even if one transcends the world, one cannot withstand the primordial chaos and will be annihilated!

However, becoming a controller, corresponding to the seven-star level, is not something that can be achieved so easily.

Hongmeng waited for more than a thousand eons before Linmeng came into being.

However, Qin Yu's progress should be fast.

As the new universe gradually comes into shape, and the three layers of space are basically finalized, Qin Yu will naturally become the controller and surpass the God Realm!

"Hmm?" Cao Ya noticed that Qin Yu's expression seemed thoughtful.

"Who exactly was that silver-haired, silver-eyed youth I saw at the Mountain and Sea Palace, who called himself 'Krevig'? A god-king? Or...?"

"And who is that mysterious figure who sent me gifts at my wedding and when my eldest son Qin Si was born, who calls himself 'Lin Meng' but made me call him 'Second Brother'...?"

"Now that we have a second brother, who is the eldest brother?"

Qin Yu was a bit overwhelmed. He sensed that the God Realm was very complex, with many anomalies that even the veteran God Kings had not noticed.

To avoid getting into trouble, he didn't dare tell Uncle Lan and the others!

Who knows what Lin Meng and Krevig's attitudes really are?!

just in case……

"Once the evolution of my new universe is fully completed, it will likely be no weaker than the Celestial Venerable!"

"At that time, the identities of these people, the situation of the three Heavenly Venerables, and the secrets of the God Realm will all be clear."

Qin Yu was secretly accelerating the timeline of the new universe, speeding up its evolution.

Anyway, his new universe doesn't breed any living beings, so he doesn't need to worry about so much.

The immediate goal is to consolidate the new universe first.

"Celestial Venerables, the dragon is nowhere to be seen. I wonder what you're busy with?" Jiang Li said softly.

“No one knows about the Heavenly Venerable Piaoyu. The Heavenly Venerable Leifa is probably in Leifa City in the Northwest…” Jiang Lan said with a cold laugh.

News of his brother, the Holy Emperor of the Northwest, and his deal with the Northwest Thunder Punishment City has already spread.

The Celestial Venerable only has one chance to make a move during the time the Celestial Venerable Mountain descends!

The Northwest Thunder Punishment City is really generous, giving such a golden opportunity to the Arctic Holy Emperor!

"It's no use refusing to allow it." The God of Death sneered. "Does the Celestial Venerable Piaoyu really intend to allow a second Celestial Venerable to appear in Northwest Thunder Punishment City?"

"If that's really the case, what's the point of all this arguing? We might as well all kneel down before Thunder Punishment City!"

Upon hearing this, Hou Fei's expression turned unusually serious, as he seemed to be deep in thought.

"This time, the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure is called the Floating World Seal, which is divided into three parts: the Azure Heaven Seal, the Earth Seal, and the People's Seal, and it will also be born in three separate times."

"If the three fragments are not in the hands of one person, then who will ultimately achieve enlightenment?"

Yi Feng God King said that last time, no one was able to gather them all, but Xiaoyao God King was chosen by the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure and became the "Xiaoyao Heavenly Venerable" who was the backer of the ascendant lineage.

"What are the criteria for the Heavenly Venerable's Lingbao to select people?"

The group looked at each other and shook their heads.

Qin Yu pondered for a moment. He had heard his second brother, Lin Meng, mention that none of the God Kings who participated in the battle for Tianzun Mountain were the owners of the Tianzun Spiritual Treasure!

However, he didn't know much about the specific details.

"It doesn't matter who it is. Our goal in snatching the fragments of the Heavenly Venerable's spiritual treasure is more about comprehending the essence of the time law contained within!" Cao Ya laughed.

Even if "Lin Meng" were to appear now and offer to promote him to the position of the new Celestial Venerable, Cao Ya would have to politely decline.

Is there any hope of becoming a ruler for this kind of Celestial Venerable? Cao Ya wasn't sure, but it seemed very unlikely.

In that primordial universe, spanning over a thousand eras, at least a thousand Celestial Venerables were born. Yet, which one of them managed to break through the barrier of the Controller? Not a single one!

Whether or not one can become the one in control is one thing, but in any case, one cannot simply cut off one's own opportunities.

Cao Ya pondered that there shouldn't be any problems with his own path to becoming the controller; it just depended on his comprehension and whether he could succeed.

"I have so many insights into extraordinary systems, and compared to the kings of the divine realm, my conditions are already far more favorable."

Cao Ya pondered that becoming a master of the Seven Stars was difficult, and even a peak Six Star Celestial Venerable would eventually need to break through!

"After all, I have considerable experience and insights into the laws of time, including those of the universes such as [Peerless One] and [Snow Eagle Lord].

A large seal appeared in Cao Ya's palm; it was the Heavenly Seal.

His fingers caressed the air, and time seemed to shift and accelerate a billion times, catalyzing the essence of heaven and earth, stirring within his heart.

There are subtle hints of mastery regarding "time standing still" and "time reversal."

"The Azure Heaven Seal!" All eyes were focused on the azure seal.

"It's a pity, the time law of the Azure Heaven Seal is mainly based on 'acceleration'," Jiang Lan said.

The deaths of the God of Death and the God of Wind are quite regrettable.

The Floating World Seal is divided into three parts, and each fragment covers a different range of time laws.

The Azure Heaven Seal is primarily for acceleration, the Earth Seal is primarily for stillness, while the Myriad People Seal is for reversing the flow.

Of course, this is not entirely true; to a greater or lesser extent, it involves two other mysteries.

However, in the eyes of the gods, the most precious item is definitely the Seal of All People, followed by the Seal of Houtu, and then the Seal of Cangtian.

"Cao Ya, next, the Houtu Seal, the second part of the Floating World Seal, will be born. Do you want to go?" the Death God King asked.

"How can I not go when I haven't even become a Celestial Venerable?" Cao Ya sighed.

"..." Upon hearing this, everyone was speechless.

You claim to have cultivated yourself into a Celestial Venerable, but judging from your tone, it's as if it's nothing special.

“This time, Cao Ya, you will be the leader, and the three of us will assist you.” The Death God King’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he spoke in a murderous tone.

"I no longer seek to possess the Heavenly Venerable Treasure; I only wish to gain some understanding of it after obtaining it."

"It's probably impossible to break through to the third stage and master 'time freeze' with this."

"Based on the results of studying the Azure Heaven Seal, we can still gain some insights in general."

"Afterwards, we will cultivate diligently for an entire epoch, waiting for the next descent of the Heavenly Venerable Mountain and the birth of a new Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure... This cycle repeats itself endlessly, accumulating little by little until one day, you and I will have the opportunity to attain the supreme Heavenly Venerable status purely through our own abilities!"

Both Yi Feng Shen Wang and Jiang Lan were in high spirits.

They have long since achieved immortality, and the one thing they have in abundance is time.

What difference does it make if one cultivates in seclusion for multiple epochs in order to reach the Heavenly Venerable Realm?

Anyway, they knew they couldn't beat God King Cao Ya, who was the strongest!

“No problem.” Cao Ya smiled.

With his overall strength, he could actually seize the Houtu Seal and the Wanmin Seal, which will appear in the future, without the help of others!

Even if the Arctic Holy Emperor were to summon the Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable, he could still kill him!

But since they were friends, he benefited greatly from studying the various laws and exchanging ideas with the God King of Death, Jiang Lan, and God King Yi Feng, especially in the laws of death.

Returning the favor by helping the three great god-kings is not a big deal.

As for Jiang Li, Qin Yu, Hou Fei, Hei Yu... they had absolutely no intention of participating in the battle for the Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure!

"Who forged that Heavenly Venerable Treasure?" Jiang Li wondered.

When Tianzun Mountain fell, the Lingbao Mother Cauldron already existed.

Inside the cauldron, three large seals will emerge one after another, eventually merging into one, which is the Floating World Seal!

"It's unlikely to be the work of the three Heavenly Venerables," Jiang Lan said.

If the three Heavenly Venerables can do such a thing, then the eight royal families and the ascended beings must have more than just one Heavenly Venerable on each side.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Qin Yu thought of "Lin Meng" again.

Could it be him?

Cao Ya, however, understood that the Heavenly Venerable's Spiritual Treasure was created by Lin Meng, who activated the origin of the divine realm and nurtured it within the Spiritual Treasure Mother Cauldron.

Based on the predicted candidate for the next Celestial Venerable of the next era, different primordial essences will be infused to forge spiritual treasures.

A very simple example is that the spiritual treasures of Thunder Punishment Celestial Venerable and Carefree Celestial Venerable are naturally different.

As for Lin Meng personally taking action... it's just a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure, there's no need for the controller to forge it!

Even if it is a peak six-star artifact, the accumulation of an entire epoch, sixty quadrillion years, is enough for the origin of the universe to allow it to be born in the Spirit Treasure Mother Cauldron.

"I still cannot refine a Celestial Venerable Spiritual Treasure!"

"In terms of sharpness, my 'Remnant Snow' spear can hold its own, but as for that true essence of time..."

Qin Yu shook his head.

Even the "Remnant Snow" Divine Spear, which was able to advance to this level, surpassing the first-class Primordial Spiritual Treasure and, in some aspects, rivaling the Heavenly Venerable Spiritual Treasure, relied on the influence of the Xuanhuang Qi born when the new universe was created.

"The Xuanhuang Qi seems to be of a higher grade than the Hongmeng Spiritual Qi?"
